When we saw that ATX Gluten Free was having a Gluten Free Pizza Week, we jumped on the chance to try something new. If you didn't know (and I didn't either), gluten free means wheat (and rye and barley) free. I knew that gluten is the thing that gives dough stretch and chewiness because, if you've ever made pizza dough, you can see the gluten strands webbing the dough when you stretch it to transparency. It's why flour, when wet, becomes dough instead of just wet flour. Gluten is also a problem for people with Gluten Sensitivity and Coeliac disease (both of which do horrible things to your intestines).

There were several options around town for us to try a gluten-free pizza, but we decided on Promise Pizza. I won't spout their official stuff, but everything about Promise Pizza seems to say "organic food is clean food." I don't necessarily subscribe to that attitude, but from the sterile metal decor to the designation of drinks as "bio-fuels" and the use of company-owned Smart cars as delivery vehicles, it's clear that they are serious about it.
